ROLEX A SHIT

Is this a watch you wear if there's another war in Vietnam?

>>15564914
no you clearly wear a vintage benrus that was actually used in the first one for maximum roleplay

>>15564919

>>15564921
Fuck me, how much are those? Is the size ok?

>>15564937
well if you want a nice on you are down a couple hundred bucks

the size is usually 34-38mm

>>15564891

Also got a Tag Heuer Kirium at the watchmaker. Had a button missing and shit.

>>15564937
I have this one. Paid 42€, really nice and small. Same size as the casio MQ 24 but has a domed plexiglass. Mine came on a black single pass nato. Love the beige coating but mine started getting a bit worn after like 4 years, around the lugs. I changed straps regularly. Leather strap was the most comfy.

Lume shot of my steeldive shitter. The lume pip on the bezel shows more in the photo than it does in real life. Its barely visible irl. Still a cool watch for the price.

Am I doing this right?

>>15565024
you are doing perfect

>>15565005
Heres a pic for size comparison. The plating wear is underneath the lugs, can hardly see it in reality.
Its beige, but my cam cant properly show, under such lighting. Battery lasts about 3 years, ticks silently.

you are not insane. women are A/B testing new forms of seduction at scale with pinpoint precision because of the TikTok algorithm

The way TikTok algo works: Your first videos are gauranteed to get 100 views. And whether the 100 users watch the video fully or scoll massively alters the video score. I know this from ByteDance employee leak

That score then puts you in a new catageory based on types of users and to a bigger audience if the video was good. A seductive video will show you to countless men, and more men will stare longer, and it gets sent to more men.

It is Hyper Meritocratic. have you noticed that gamer girls started to mimic the cross eyed semen drenched hentai look? girls that go that get huge points now - they never did before. perverse fetishes and niches suddenly as massively monetisable. look at the thot making $100k a month pretending to be a dog on onlyfans - we only had the technology for such degeneracy in 2019 earliest

women are noticing and responding to incentives. they already were chasing instagram likes. but now its not just body type and lifestyle - they are emulating mannerisms. Mimetic Desire

why do so many of you complain about 40mm? are the people who post here manlets?

>>15565023
Neat. There's some very good shitter lume to be had out there.

>>15565096

DISHONORIBURR!

real question

should a watch be used regularly to increase 'lifespan' before service?

>>15565178
the only watch i've heard that "should be used" every so often is a chronograph complication
though i don't think it's accurate, this is bandied about fairly often
something about oils and them needing to be displaced
that argument was for pre and early 20th century watch oils
today watch lube is apparently advanced enough that this shit isn't necessary

>>15565199
what about vintage stuff from the 60's/70's

you meantion early 20th, how early?

>>15565059
>women are noticing and responding to incentives
Just like dogs!
I'm not gonna post the webm but you know which one I was gonna post.

>>15565203
all i know is that pocketwatches had this problem
because the oils aren't as they are now
but new, modern, oil in an old watch and it should be fine
the chronograph thing, that you should run it every so often, is a line i've heard sales assistants spout
whether it's true or not i dunno

>>15565231
ah okay thanks, ill probably just go to a watchmaker and ask him to reoil and clean all my vintage shit just to be sure

>>15565059
>>15565046
>have you noticed that gamer girls started to mimic the cross eyed semen drenched hentai look?
Yes, it's absolutely incredible how many women have a personality completely taken from anime/hentai/porn now.

I want a watch that has ALL of the following:
>Dive bezel
>Chronograph
>Flieger style dial and indices
>Ani-digi display

>>15565271
seiko

>>15565276
Got a reference number?

>>15565271
Walk into the mall and ask for their ugliest G-Shock

>>15565271
Seiko Arnie but without Flieger shit
Sinn 103 but not ana digi
Speedmaster X33 maybe or
Breitling Aerospace Evo

I can't decide between a sapphire or hesalite speedmaster. I want to be able to see the movement, but its not like I would ever actually look at it except when I take it on or off. I also like the closed caseback because I fell for the nasa marketing and want a "real moonwatch" that's space certified. The front crystal doesn't matter to me either way. I don't dislike the milky ring on the sapphire model and I never badly scratched a previous watch with a plastic crystal so i'm not worried about scratching the hesalite.

>>15565307
Just get one of the refs with a hesalite front crystal and a sapphire back.

>>15565309
I've thought about those too but they are harder to find and a bit more expensive.

>>15565312
I guess just get a sapphire/sapphire one then. You're not going to get a "true" moonwatch unless it's one from the 60s with a 321 movement in it. That or pay out the ass for one of the new 321 speedies.

>>15565313
Maybe if we actually go back to the moon in the next couple of years then the current speedmaster will get its chance to become a real moonwatch.

>>15565307
Why would you want/need a NASA-certified moonwatch? It's not like you'll go to the moon any time soon, and even if you managed to pass all the astronaut tests and were scheduled to launch tomorrow I doubt mission control would even let you wear your officially-certified moonwatch.

>>15565338
Its cool.

>>15565307
it's not as if that movement is worth seeing desu senpai

>>15565134
What a chonker

>>15565163
You have to press it to even move the bezel. That way you can't accidentally fuck with it.

>>15565163

>>15564914
royal oaks are dress watches pretending to be sports watches
clap your hands or flick your wrist a little too hard and the movement breaks

>>15565199

honestly the killer complications/features you want on a watch are:

1. silent vibrating alarm to wake up at different time to your girlfriend
2. heart rate monitor
3. sleep tracking

all of these dramatically improve your life in a way a chronograph cannot. If you want a chronograph its faster to say "OK google/siri start a timer" and use your phone

So buy a garmin vivosmart 4 because its a fitness band not a smart watch - so you can buy a watch purely for FASHION and have a tracker purely for FUNCTION

and for FASHION? a stainless steel sportswatch or dress watch, not a tool/diver. And make it a replica so you get the brand name and a miyota 9015 movement but pay like $500. no normies will know. "but I'll know" yeah you'll know when you put $5k into an incoming generating asset and see a return instead. buy a replica patek or replica royal oak or replica Vacheron, replica JLC utra thin moonphase, superreplica rolex oyster with grape dial, or a replica Cartier Santos

This is the ultimate watch truth, the ultimate in form and function, but its a tough pill to swallow for anyone who has spent $2k on a genuine.

>>15565378
iirc Max Busser (of MB&F fame) called the Royal Oak offshore a monster when it came out

>>15565307

are you going to have frequently exposure to billion dollar instruments in zero gravity? if no: sapphire

I am announcing that I will be buying a Tudor black bay 58 soon

>Just know youll never be a wristlet lmao
What does this mean

>>15565475
He was saying that the reason they didn't use sapphire was because it shatters, which is a problem when the shards float around in space.

>>15565475
baka

>>15565475

I am not makign a statement about your wealth

Hessalite (acrylic plastic) is a 3-4 on the Mohs hardness scale.

The screen on your smart phone is 6-7 (watch jerryriganything always test this on youtube when he tears down phones)

Saphire is 9 and diamond is 10

The scratches look bad and 99% of people would think your watch looks better scratchless/new than scratched to shit but you can say its closer to what NASA would actually use in the 60s

Pretty sure this is it

Does this look cheap, or could I rock this with a custom tailored suit?

>>15565580
thanks anon

>>15565582
It's only going to look cheap to other watch guys. Average people know shit about watches.
But if it bothers you that someone might point out that you're wearing a cheap watch, then get something mid range.
If that's the style you're looking for then I'd suggest a Frederique Constant

>>15565585
No problem

>>15565592
sweet anon, thanks for that invaluable info.
I'm getting a huuuuuge chunk of money in the next 12 months and the only 'splurge' item I'm going to buy myself is the gold Day-Date 40mm presidential with the white face and I'm just looking for something to hold me over until then.

>>15565592
not him but good point, never thought about this. how many of you guys here have encountered other watch enthusiasts?

>>15565607
i obviously mean in real life

>>15565605

damn son. inheritance?

given your situation I would recommend you buy a nice popular dress watch second hand with a load of private sellers and liquidity. Then when you get your rolex sell that intermediate watch for slightly less than your bought it or for the same amount if you can. Effectively you rent it

>>15565628
I'll inherent a pretty penny, that's for sure lol. it isn't a lump sum being 'handed' to me like a forefather's fortune or anything along those lines, but rather, an amount I'm deserving of because it actually took wit and execution to achieve.
hence why i want this celebratory timepiece.

any idea where i could buy a dress watch from a reputable reseller? I've never trusted or researched second-hand purchasing of luxury goods such as LV, Gucci, Givenchy because of the absolute amount of counterfeits in circulation and I'd imagine watches would be just as bad.
I'm a serious newfag when it comes to watches if you couldn't tell

>>15565605
If you're just looking for a cheap watch then an Orient is a good choice.
Better than a shit brand like MVMT, anyway

>>15565648
yikes, so you fucked other people over to profit and date you greed... as long as you feel as though you deserve it, you’ll always feel deserving of more. anyway avoid designer watches. I suggest a pathetic Philip

>>15565607
>>15565612
Only one, I drove my dad to an eye doctor appointment because they were going to dilate his eyes, and it turned out that his eye doctor was a pajeet that also collects watches.

>>15565648
Check out chrono24, they have an escrow system and with most watches you can take them and have them checked by a professional before the purchase is finalized

Old man at a posh party I attended Saturday had this watch on. It looked very good, and he told me it was his retirement watch he'd gotten twenty years ago. Very cool example of someone living with a watch.

>>15565676
you think I fucked over someone for monetary gain?

I've shoplifted in my youth from stores that were a part of a commercialized retailer, actually going as far to steal dress coats that were hundreds of dollars at my height of kleptomania, but i always refused to use my sticky fingers on independent stores or actual individuals who would be set back from my greed.
it's an insurance/liability claim from a car accident that left me in a coma for a week with a mortality rate of >90% (i wasn't driving)

>>15565677
well, what did he own?

>>15565708
He was wearing an omega aqua terra, and he noticed I was wearing my old zodiac super seawolf 53 and asked me about it

>>15565708

>>15565708
what he did own. well?

sad to find out new fellow watchfag is a marxist thief larper. Keep the discussion civil, anons

>>15565684
Two tone and a stretchy bracelet. The boomers know whats good and comfy. It does look good and stretchy bracelets are robust and have some of the best ergonomics.

>>15565693
> amount I'm deserving of because it actually took wit and execution to achieve.

Pick one anon.

i have a 7.8 inch wrist, would 40 mm, 12 mm look fine on me?

>>15565866
Yes, unless your wrist is perfectly round

>>15565891

what would this even look like? anyways, thanks

>>15565908

A soda can.

>>15565852
Lmao anon isn’t responding. LARPer exterminated.

>>15565096
some watches just look better smaller.

A watch that was originally 34mm (and visually designed to work that way) but then got blown up to 40mm looks like shite.

>>15565494
acrylic can be easily polished to look like new. its better than mineral crystal.

Forget the speedy, Tag Hueuer now makes the best entry level chrono

>>15566188
Ugly tho

why do so many watch enthusiasts love japan so much?

>>15565231
The rule with a chronograph is:

Horizontal clutch: don't let it run all the time, as the gears can wear down (though of course it's meant to be used).
Vertical clutch: better to let it run all the time, it's easier on the clutch mechanism.

>>15566200
Look at the site you're on.

>>15566061
I feel this way for the datejust and daydate too.
The larger ones just look bad. The fluted bezel especially looks retarded all swollen like that. I've seen them around on people's wrists irl and it has never looked right.
If the skydweller were released in the traditional 36mm like the daydate and just then that would be something. As it stands it looks weird.

Wait why is the logo different between the rose/silver and black?
https://www.stowa.de/en/Antea+Klassik+KS.htm
the black logo looks the best by far

>>15566512
no definite idea, really.
I only know the black one is their old heritage logo.
the one with the geometric mark is the one they use now.

>>15565693
>it's an insurance/liability claim from a car accident that left me in a coma for a week with a mortality rate of >90% (i wasn't driving)
I would never spend that money before getting it or before the end of the judiciary iter, you might need to give some money back.

>>15566512
stowa and their weird decissions, they have a diver with that old logo while their other divers have the newest one.And yes, the old logo is nicer

>>15565852
It took time and effort to find someone willing to hit me in the car for the insurance claim, you know how hard it is to get hit on accident and being in the right? I tried driving around the entire day but nothing. I had to find someone and then figure out how we could do it in a way that wouldn't arise the insurance suspicion.
I didn't plan to end up in a coma but oh well, I can't really complain, more money for me I guess!

How do you figure out how a tonneau watch will wear compared to a regular round one? For example does a 35mm diameter translate to 40mm for round?

>>15565384

>He doesn't take watch off when sitting around in waiting rooms just so he can pass the time by getting hypnotized looking at the balance wheel
Ishygddt
Related, when I'm at those situations I also unscrew the crown and start winding the watch, is it bad to do that ? I'm sure it probably is already fully charged by wearing it.

My 3rd.

Sucker for the excessive sun & moon posts on r/watches & not disappointed. For the price point i think it's great, not the greatest build quality but not shocked.

Is that your or your girlfriend's big fat flabby fuck ginger arm?

>>15566561
When i refer to build quality I think I should re-phrase & say sturdiness is probably the more appropriate word. The Orient definitely feels a bit more delicate, doesn't mean it's inferior i guess

>>15566724
Sure looks very large and fat to me. I really wish the trend was back to smaller sizes. When I locate a nice 36mm Rolex Explorer 114270 with box/papers, that will be my forever watch. I’m not a collector, but truly appreciate the mechanical aspect of automatic watches..........just like the Porsche I drive. Currently, I wear a 34mm OP with blue dial. Prior to this watch, I wore a 36mm OP DateJust every day for almost 30 years. PS: I love the Hodinkee reviews.

What's the way to go with fliegers? Type A or Type B?

>>15566744
Personally, i like the more clean design of type A fliegers.

Can someone explain to me if it's possible to put a display case back on a watch that doesn't have it, and how would you go about it? There's a Zenith that I really want to get, but there's only some ugly special editions with a display back, and the regular ones are closed. It's this:
https://www.chrono24.com/zenith/el-primero-heritage-chronometer-tipo-cp-2--id7541329.htm
And the display version is this:
https://youtu.be/7cBI9wu_tpo?t=187
It's blue and ugly, so would it be possible to somehow get the back as a spare part and change it?

Breitling getting several nominations. Pretty based how that company turned itself around after nearly going the way of Tag in the 2000s.

H Moser is also based af. I am very tempted to buy one of their watches and to put it in a safe b/c they are obv on their way to becoming a classic brand.

I really enjoy the rainbow dialed Super Ocean, its a lot of fun ! Its almost a toss up of what a perfect summer going watch should be versus that of the Mido Ocean Star decompression dial.

H Moser is an excellent maker, its always fun to see what they do. I do believe they will appreciate over time for their oddities and innovations! If you have the means, I see no reason as to not get something of theirs

>>15566908
The Van Cleef, if were possible, should have been in all three of the ladies categories. It is simply stunning. From a complication perspective and jewelry, its all around an incredible exercise of diligence. The diamond setting is perfected.

I know that they're pretty much disposable because of how cheap they are, but mine has been with me through thick and thin and it would be hard to just chuck it away when it stops working. Are they a pain in the ass to fix or are they Kalashnikov-tier idiot-proof that even a battery monkey can fix it?

>>15566580
>>15566561
how much did you get it for? this always has been one of those "hmmmmmmmmmmm" watches for me

They seem easy enough, especially if you are into fixing watches !

Should I be worried about planar magnetic headphones magnetizing my watches or are modern watches/movements resistant enough?

>>15567170
Any modern movement from a good brand will be fine.

>>15567075
I like it, dial is unusual. Like a california dial prototype.

Here's a new one to me. I thought this was a normal case back pop off. Much to my surprise the crystal pops off instead.

Thoughts on ST2130 movements?

>>15567209
I love that bracelet

is this one considered boring/cringe? i really want this, it seems very versatile and elegant

>>15567209
Here's the case, very cool.

>>15567245
it is not cringe, if you usually dress with a shirt and non-jeans pants then its perfect.

please dont start wearing a watch like that with a tshirt and jeans, that doesnt fit

>>15567250
or should i buy the all silver one, does that look better? it is slightly cheaper

>>15566526
don’t worry, that anon is a larper

>>15567253
if it is cheaper I would go with the silver one, it also looks classier in my opinion.

I have always thought gold accents only belong with gold cases.

>>15567253
Roman numerals really make a piece way dressier, simple bato indices are the most versatile if you want an everyday wear sort of watch that can still be dressed up if needed

>>15566911
>H Moser is also based af.
Are they the Austrian independent? I think I saw something about them years ago.

>>15567258
there's also this one which is all gold and over double the price. should i save up for this one or settle with the silver one? what would be best, a silver watch with a sick wardrobe or a gold watch with a shit wardrobe?

>>15567250
>portofino
>don't wear casual clothes
Kek.

>>15567281
nigga you go out wearing a dress watch with jeans and a graphic tee. lets see who gets laughed at then.

>>15567281
since when are t-shirts and jeans the only casual clothes?

>>15567284
Okay, larper.

what watch is is wearing

>>15567245
Nice Bambino bro

>>15567284
no one will get laughed at. have you ever wore a fancy watch with a tee? people will only say thats a nice watch and wont actually give a fuck of what your wearing

>>15567306
ah yeah because people will always call you out straight to your face. So if you dont hear someone saying you look dumb then you dont look dumb

>>15567310
>ah yeah because people will always call you out straight to your face
at this point who gives a fuck

Where my shitter crew at?

>>15567313
fair point to be honest

>>15567245
>boring
Just another word for understated. Buy and enjoy what you like.
Life is too short to take the opinions of what is cringe and what isn't on a Fijian flapjack cooking board all that seriously

>>15567284
No one outside of watch nerds gives a shit about dress and tool watch standards. If a watch nerd laughs at you or mocks you, it should be taken with minimal to negative fucks anyway.

>>15567359
this is why we see divers worn with suits

>>15567366
who gives a shit

>>15567370
Well I dont really care if people keep doing it, gives me a nice laugh

>>15566724
why the fuck would you ever want a chronograph?
to time what? your 3min faps lmao
clutters the dial, provides nothing useful
piss off with that shit

>>15567371
oh no, better stop wearing my watch how i like. wouldnt want to give anon a laugh

>>15567366
Sure. I know we're on /fa/, but it really does not matter. I wouldn't wear a big bulky tool watch with formal or semi-formal attire, but it doesn't bother me if someone does, mainly because I'm not autistic. Watch standards have changed anyway, the standards are fluid. You don't get mocked for not dressing the same way someone did in the early 20th century. Archaic watch standards are in the same boat.

no they're a resurrected swiss name that's known for their gradient dials, their dedication to 100% swiss manufacture and talking shit about those that don't, their finely finished in-house movements that display a PR on the movement side and of course making high horololol troll watches.
austrian independent and you're thinking Habring2 ("habring squared")

can i get another opinion on which looks better and why?
>>15567245
>>15567253

>>15567408
silver one looks miles better to me

>>15567392
>it doesn't bother me if someone does
not him and it wouldnt "bother" me either, but my opinion of them would be lowered. Just like that stupid and godawful "showing ankle" trend everyone was doing a few years ago. Best way to see who had taste and upbringing and who didnt.

casual attire?
sure anything goes. Wear a Hello Kitty watch if you want

formal or semi formal attire?
nope. dont even try.

>Watch standards have changed anyway, the standards are fluid
It's not a question of retarded "watch standards" or any other bullshit you hear from faggots online like fedora lounge gentleman's gazette shit.
It's a question of aesthetics, fashion and fit.
A bulky as fuck diver looks retarded with a proper business suit just as it tarnishes the elegance of a dinner suit.
Imagine some tool wearing a fucking ploprof with general business dress, or an orange dialed doxa shitter with a tuxedo.
It's got nothing to do with "rules" but rather it looking bad and making you look like a fucking rube.
Celebrities on the red carpet don't count; don't even try and use them as an example of what to wear because holy shit 99% of what they're dressed in, because they don't choose their own close, look really bad.
Buy what you want, but remember that jsut because something looks good on your wrist when you're wearing a maymay anime shirt and cargo shorts or whatever the fuck doesn't mean it looks good in formal attire.

The Snooper is back, boys.

>>15567408
i will strongly recommend the gold, if you must choose this model, for the simple reason of legibility.
silver on light dials, especially silver on silver, is not as legible at a glance that say in that instance gold on off-white or whatever it is
perhaps i'm just autistic about this but I really don't like that extra microsecond that it takes to tell the time because there's not enough contrast on the dial
additionally, the silver makes an already boring watch imo even more so, but if you're one of those people that doesn't like gold then you don't like gold and you know which one to choose

>>15567451
https://www.urmaker-bjerke.no/produkter/klokker/iwc/portofino/ here are all the options. does the chronograph or hand-wound look better?

Cannot find a Seiko SRPB46 for the normal price of $350 so annoying

>>15567426
What's wrong with showing the ankle? You wanna pants to cover your shoes like grampa?

>>15567426
>Just like that stupid and godawful "showing ankle" trend everyone was doing a few years ago.
Young kinds still show ankles around here, you can't identify a male teen from a female teen if you only see their lower body.

>>15567438
fair, i agree with this too. if youre wearing a full suit and wear something like a gshock, its going to look bad. otherwise, wear whatever you want to wear when youre in casual clothing.

>>15566665
>yakuza would like to know your location

>>15567461
>>15567451
seconded that the silver on white is boring.
im sure its a fine watch either way, but that combination is too sterile4me and lacks the fainest remote whiff of a character
personally i would go for the navy or the black, even though in general i dislike black dials.

>>15567471
looks ugly, crass and low class. Why would you wear a nice suit and ruin it by showing your ugly ankles like some homeless beach bum. It is a style reserved for a greasy guido.

>>15567406

Is Casio F-91W best for 5.5" wrist and poorfag? Any other suggestions welcome too.

And I thought I was a wristlet

I already have a Citizen diver in black & a Seiko diver in blue.

Was thinking about getting a green Orient diver.
I like the Ray better than the Mako, but I seem to be having trouble finding a green Ray II/III. Do they exist?

>>15567515
Why do you need 3 divers?

>>15567486
>It is a style reserved for a greasy guido.
And this is how you outed yourself as a no taste blind traditionfag.
You're probably just either fat or skinny and jealous of other people's attractive ankles.

>>15567519
One for wrist, one for each penis

>>15567515
I think, >>15567519, has a point. Why not look into a dress or chronograph ?

>>15567520
Showing ankle has more to do with the cut of the pants than the style itself.

>>15567408
Personally, I'd get the gold

>>15567519
Because I like to color coordinate my watch with my fit.

>>15567465
Jomashop?

>>15567524
Yes, it's called non grampa cut.

>>15567501
I'm female and somewhat thin. I prefer to have a men's watch.

>>15567520
>the example is literally guido tier
thanks for perfectly illustrating my point

fucking granny pants lmao
and dont even pretend you are a 10/10 male model, anyone trying this will look like shite

>>15567536
Do you like to be manhandled? I volunteer.

>>15567537
Yep, I was right, you reek of insecurity. Keep dressing like grampa, I'm sure no one will laugh behind your back.

>>15567532
Its called a "break", and how much of it you want is determined by your style. You mong

>>15567498
get a casio with a real EL backlight and not the cheapo """light"""" that the f91w has

also the f91w is way overdone

Everything you posted can be fixed by wearing socks, you understand it has nothing to do with pants length, right?

>>15567559
i was specifically talking about WEARING SOCKS, learn2follow the conversation

>>15567555
If you covered up the top half of that image you'd assume that it was a woman in a pantsuit

>>15567555
If you believe the worst part of this image, are the pants length. Then perhaps the suit isnt for you

>>15567556
they do though, atleast yours you can buy from seiko directly. im waiting on SSA392J1 to come back to stock. its sold out everywhere reasonably priced

>>15567560
Socks don't hide the ankle, retard, what the fuck are you talking about?
Also socks with loafers? Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Next you'll wear socks with sandals. Be honest, you're German, aren't you?

>>15567555
the ankles aren't a problem here for me, it's the ugly watch

i dont care what kind of SHOE they are, if you are wearing a shoe then wear socks too. If you are wearing a suit do it properly or dont do it at all

>>15567555

>>15567577
The guy I posted isn't wearing a suit and he's wearing invisible socks, retard.

>>15567573
i wouldn't say so
one look at watches reddit and all you see are they most follow the herd generic shit over and over
speedmaster, submariner, grand seiko snowflake, tudor 58, semenmaster etc., etc.
you look at that site once and i bet it never changes

>>15567448
noice, sadly its white, would like 38mm more though

>>15567583

>cant read

guess what it still looks like shit
remove the factor hes model tier and its a bad outfit 100%

>>15567544
Thanks for your suggestion. I don't really mind overdone if it is good to me. I don't know anything about watches but I like the f91w.
>>15567546
Ok, if you give me some watch suggestions
>>15567549

>A handful of men, like the ones who strode those first catwalks bare-ankled, may be blessed with legs like racehorses and ankles shaped by Michelangelo. But even the best men’s ankles look good only when well-tanned and complemented with deck shoes. Most men’s ankles miss that standard by a mile: pasty, hairy enough to qualify their owners for a part in “The Hobbit”, so gnarled they could enter a knobbly-ankle competition, and attached to over-fed legs and over-sized feet. The mankle fashion serves to draw attention not just to ill-shaped ankles but chunky legs, rendered even chunkier by tight trousers, and long feet rendered even longer by giant trainers.
>The great bare-ankle revolution sits poorly with other fashion revolutions. Men who combine naked ankles with bushy beards are the modern equivalent of ancient Greek centaurs who had the torsos of men and the legs of horses.

Is it some Chinese site that sells display backs for the watches they have replicas of or a legit site?

>>15567705
You have to understand that mechanical watches are akin to a piece of jewelry so with your budget all you can get is some low quality quartz.
From there you either go digital or analog. I reckon you prefer digital?

Do you guys have any recs for a good looking watch under 150$? I ask because in the recommended guide there's a lot of details about movements, materials etc. and it's pretty hard to figure out which would look best irl .
I don't really care about most "technical" stuff, like how deep can you go with it, I just want a watch that looks decent and doesn't lose an enrmous amount of seconds, more into dress watches but open to anything, ever very out there stuff.
